Testosterone Levels?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question đź’­

I just had my bloodwork done and my total testosterone level was flagged high at 65. But when I start going down the Google rabbit hole, it says that under 80 is normal. Does 65 confirm a PCOS diagnosis?? I'm confused ;)

I would love to know the answer of this too. I had the exact same problem when I was diagnosed. I didn’t understand why they said it was high when it was in the “normal” range.

Actually a fertility doctor isn’t a bad idea. The obgyn office I see helps treat infertility and they see more cases of pcos than a regular obgyn office. I’m not trying for a kid either but I went to one of these offices. Boy has it made a difference with my pcos. Google reviews on doctors too it may not hurt to get a second opinion. I wish I did it sooner because my old obgyn said for years that my gluten allergy was pcos symptoms. My first visit at the new obgyn office he said it’s a food allergy to gluten or dairy and to figure it out. Not gonna lie it has been life changing.

I actually don't want to get pregnant. At all. Ever. The OB/GYN I just went to is the one who ran the test. She said that diagnosing PCOS involves identifying at least 2 of 3 of the following - irregular menstrual cycles (check), high testosterone levels (check, right?), and ultrasound that shows cysts (not done). So technically, I qualify for the diagnosis. This will actually the second time I've been diagnosed using these criteria. I guess maybe I just don't have a "bad" case?

If you’re concerned about rather you have PCOS or not I highly recommend seeing a fertility doctor. I guessed for years and finally went at age 22 had I known long before I could of prevented a lot of things from happening to me.
